Not every song I wrote was on Identity, even though it sounds like it. The stuff that didn’t make the cut, including a sophomoric rant about religion and politics and some experimental instrumental techno-y stuff, is now available in Leftovers and Underwear. Name your price, including free.

Reblogging myself, because even though it says madcrasher has one follower, it won’t say who that one follower is.

The Glory of Plodding:

Until we are content with being one of the million nameless, faceless church members and not the next globe-trotting rock star, we aren’t ready to be a part of the church.

Why Christian fantasy/sci-fi writers shouldn’t include Jesus

Why Christian fantasy/sci-fi writers shouldn’t include Jesus:

Some context is in order. This is NetRaptor. She writes some of the best stories out there; the fact that the majority of them are Sonic the Hedgehog fanfics is but a small note. You can go back through the archives and see her progression as an author, and that includes her use of Christianity. In her first stories it’s somewhat (okay, very) heavy-handed, but her more recent (and better) work takes a more subtle, in-universe approach (Metal Sonic seeks to find the designer of life to discuss patent infringement).

To sum up, it’s refreshing to hear her come out and explicitly say “don’t do what I did.”

5 Minutes on The Verge: Loren Brichter:

On the list of people I’d like to be, Loren Brichter is near the top. Why? He’s an independent developer who made an awesome app that brought so many new design patterns to iOS. Heard of pull-to-refresh? This guy invented it.

Boom. Roasted.

Why James Whittaker Left Google

Why James Whittaker Left Google:

It makes me sad to read this. The telling quote is this:

Google was the rich kid who, after having discovered he wasn’t invited to the party, built his own party in retaliation.

Guys, Google is the new Microsoft. Remember how Microsoft threw a crapton of money into Internet Explorer in the late 90s to make it a contending browser? That’s what Google’s trying to do with Google+. Emphasis on trying.
